Melt chocolate chips, butter and sweetened condensed milk in the microwave. Stir to combine after chocolate is melted. Add vanilla. Pour into well-greased 9 x 13 pan and chill in the refrigerator until set.

Variations: Use white chocolate chips or raspberry flavored chips, or press buttered pecans into the fudge after pouring it into the pan. Try maple flavoring instead of vanilla. Send us a comment with your favorite variation.
